APPARATUS FOR LINING DRY CELLS.

. Application filed May 10, 1913.

T 0 all whom it may concern Be it known that I, Loozs E. IVILLIAMS, acitizen of the United States, residing at Fremont, in the county ofSandusky and State of Ohio, have invented a certain new and usefulImprovement in Apparatus for Lining Dry Cells, of which the following isa full, clear, and exact description.

This invention relates to apparatus for lining containers, moreparticularly dry cel s.

The usual method of procedure in making dry cells is to insert thebibulous lining and bottom disks manually in the zinc container, nomachinery whatever being used.

The object of my invention is to devise a machine for accomplishing thesame results rapidly and automatically.

Other objects will appear in the following description.

Fig. 3 is an end view of Fig. 1 taken from the left, certainparts being omitted. Fig. 4 is an isometric projection of the canfeeding mechanism. Fig. 5 is a cross-sectional view on the line AA ofFig. 1 lookng toward the right, showing the driving means. Fig. 6 is across-sectional view on the line BB of Fig. 1 also looking toward theright, certain parts being omitted. Fig. 7 is a cross-sectional view onthe line CC of Fig. 1 looking toward the right, with certain partsomitted. Fig. 8 is an enlarged partial cross-sectional view taken on theline D-D of Fig. 1.

this support, a. toothed sprocket Wheel 5 is fastened by bearings 6. Theteeth of the sprocket wheels 5 extend through a slot 7 in the ends ofthe support 4 and engage an endless chain or conveyer 8. To the endlesschain 8 are attached in any convenient manner. a number of cylindricalholders 9, into which the zinc cans 10 of the dry cell are placed. Theseholders are arranged'equidistant along the endless chain and have aheight somewhat less than the height of the can 10.

At the right hand side of the apparatus, as shown in Fig. 1, the uprightmembers 11 are joined by the cross pieces 12 at the top and bottom (Fig.A shaft 13 is supported in bearing 14: resting on the upper cross-piece12. Other bearings are provided .at the other points along the shaft. Apulley 15 is fastened to the shaft 13 and is driven by any source ofpower, a belt 16 being shown. The shaft 13 rotates the shaft 21 by meansof gears 18, 19 and 20. A mutilated gear 22, keyed on shaft 21 mesheswith the pinion 23 on the shaft 17 and thus turns it intermittently. Inorder to support the train of gearing, a pair of uprights 24 and 25shorter than uprights 11 may be provided. One of these is shown in Fig.1, the other being directly behind it. The uprights are joined at thetop as shown in Fig. 5 by a member 26 similar to cross bar 12. The idler19 is pivoted to the member 26 while both the shafts 17 and 21 aresimilarly secured to the, rear upright 24 on opposite sides thereof andat such a distance apart that the mutilated gear 22 and pinion 23 willmesh properly.

As stated previously, the shaft 17 is rotated intermittently by means ofthe gear 22, and in order to prevent it from rotating after themutilated gear has. ceased to act on it, due to its inertia and that ofthe connected parts, I usea catch shown in Figs. 5 and 10. This consistsof a disk 27 fitted to the shaft 17, having a lug or shoulder 28thereon. The lug 28 engages the dog 30 pivoted at 31 to a projection 33of the leg 1. A spring 32 connected between the dog 30 and the crosspiece 2 holds it against "the disk. The disk 27 is placed in a positionsuch that the end 29 of the dog engages the lug 28 at the instant thatthe mutilated gear 22 lets go of the pinion 23. A trip '33 is secured onthe shaft 21 to raise the dog 30 out of. engagement, just before themutilated gear again meshes with the pinion.

The shaft 17 is supported at various points along its length by thebrackets 31 which rest upon the cross-pieces 2, one being shown in Figs.3 and 4:. A plate 35 having a notch 36 is attached to the end of theshaft 17. A pin 37 secured to the plate moves in a slot 38 in thereciprocating arm 39, which is pivoted at -l0 to a supporting member 41.This may be conveniently fastened to the leg 1 as shown. At the otherend of the arm 39, a connecting rod -12 is attached by a double actingjoint 13. A projection of the joint turns in the arm 39 and theconnecting rod is pivoted between lugs on the joint so that it can swingeither in the plane of the arm 39 or in a plane at right angles thereto.The other end of the connecting rod is fastened to the short link 15 bya pin ll which is parallel to the plane of the shaft 17. The link i5 isalso pivoted at the other extremity to the arm 17 by a pin 16, at rightangles to the pin ii. The feeding arm l7 rotates loosely about the axisl8 and has a dog adapted to engage the ratchet wheel l9 rigidly mountedon the axis l8. A suitable spring 51 is connected between thereciprocating arm 17 and the dog to keep it in engagement with theratchet wheel A9. A pivoted arm or dog 52 operated by a spring 53cooperates with a notch 36 of the plate 35 to prevent the shaft 17 fromrebounding in the opposite direction as will be fully described later.

To the left of the driving mechanism in Fig. 1, there are successivelyarranged devices for, first: inserting a bottom disk; second, acylindrical lining; and third two additional bottom disks. Thesesdevices will now be described in the order given.

The first is best shown in Figs. 1 and 6. Referring thereto, twostandards 54: of an inverted Y shape are securely fastened to thesupport A and are provided with bearings 55 for the shaft 13. Theeccentric 58 consists of a circular portion 56 which is eccentricallymounted upon the shaft 13 and may be adjusted thereon by manipulatingscrews 57. A frame surrounds the eccentric and is made up of twosemi-circular portions 58 and 59 bolted together. The lower portion 59has a projection 60 into which a connecting rod is fastened. Theconnecting rod ()1 is pivotally secured to a cross head 62 which movesbetween the guides 63 fastened to the standards 54. Attached to the head02 is a plunger 64 which moves in a hollow guide way 65. The guide wayis sup ported by a member 66 resting upon bar 67 and shelf 68 both beingfastened across the standards. The shelf is also supported by braces 69between it and the standards. The plunger 64 is reciprocated by theeccentric 58 on the shaft 13 and passes through the circular holes '70in the member 66 and a corresponding hole 71 in the slide 71. A magazine72 containing disks 73 and weight 73 is secured to the member 66. Acircular opening 7% in the upper part of the member permits the bottomdisk to rest on the slide. The slide 71 is fastened to the projectinglug 7 7 of the eccentric 78 by a connecting rod 75 pivoted at 76. Thiseccentric is constructed in the same manner as the eccentric 58previously described. The eccentric 78 is rotated upon theintermittently rotat ing shaft 17. The stroke of the plunger 64: issufficient to permit it to descend substantially to the bottom of thecans 10. During the period in which the shaft 17 is sta-. I

tionary, the single hole in the slide 71 is in alinement with the hole70 below the plunger so as to permit it to pass therethrough. theopenings in the can 10 underneath being likewise in alinement.

The mechanism for inserting the cylindrical lining is placed to the leftof the first mechanism. Referring to Figs. 1 and 7, this device consistsof a hollow cylindrical 'plunger 79 fastened to a frame 80. The

frame and plunger are reciprocated by means of two eccentrics 81 and 82similar to the eccentric 58. The frame 80 and the eccentrics areconnected by means of con-. necting rods 83. A flared guide or funnel 81is slidingly suspended from the frame by rods 85 and is yieldinglyretained against the nuts at the lower end by springs 87 surrounding therods. The frame 80 joins two cross-heads 80, each of which moves betweentwo guides 89 fastened to the upright members 90 as shown in Fig. 7.

The uprights 90 are connected across the top by beams 91 and at thebottom are fastened to the support 1. A shaft 92 is mount ed across thebeams 91 and fits in bearings thereon. A sprocket wheel 93 is secured onthis shaft and is rotated by chain 94: and "toothed wheel 95 on theintermittently rotating shaft 17. The bevel gear 96 on the shaft 92meshes with the pinion 97 mounted on a vertical shaft 98. This shaft issupported by a bearing 99 fastened across the uprights 90. At the otherextremity of the shaft 98 is fastened a cylinder 100 having alongitudinal slot 101 as shown in Fig. 8. A sheet metal drum or cylinder102 having flaring ends 103 and 104 surrounds the cylinder 100, a space105 being left between the two cylinders to receive the lining. Anopening 107 is left between the ends 103 and 104 so that the lining 108may be pushed into the slot .101 and then wound up in the intermediatespace 105. The sheet metal cylinder 102 rests upon 'the table 106supported by the members90, a hole 106 being provided for the guide 84to pass therethrough. The manner in which the the mutilated gear.

hollow .cylindrical plunger 79 removes the lining and deposits it in thecan will be described later.

After the lining is inserted by the plunger, two more disks are put inplace by a mechanism placed still farther to the left. This arrangementconsists of two devices identical with that described for inserting asingle disk, with the exception that one slide 116 removes the disksfrom both devices. The plungers 109 and 110 are operated by theeccentric 111 identical with 58 and are fastened to the head 112 movingbetween guides 113 secured to the standards 114. A connecting rod 115joins the eccentric to the head 112. The slide 116 reciprocates in theframe 117 supported on a table 118. This slide has two holes 116' and116 side by side adapted to pass under the two magazines 120 and 120(Fig. 13) and is operated by eccentric 121. The other details of thisarrangement are identical with those of the disk insertingw mechanismfirst described.

, .A standard 122 at the left hand extremity as shown in Fig. 1 supportsthe end of the shaft 13. Projection 123 is attached to this standard toserve as a pivot for the catch 52; Another projection 12 1 on thisstandard serves as a fastening for the spring 53.

Fig. 2 shows a dry cell can with the elements which are inserted by thisapparatus. In the zinc can 125 is placed a bottom disk 126, a lining"127 and disks 128 and 129 in-' said? of the lining and on top of thebottom The intermittent operation of the shaft 17' is produced asfollows: Referring to Figs. 1 and 5, the driving mechanism for theapparatus is operated b a belt 16 driven by any source ofpower. y thismeans a pulley 15 fastened to the shaft 13 is rotated continuously. Inthe section shown in Fig. 5, the direction of this rotation is indicatedas being clockwise. Upon the shaft 13, the gear 18'and the 'four similareccentrics 58, 81, 82 and 111 are rotated continuously. The gear 18turns the idler 19 which meshes with an other gear 20 similar to gear18. The gear 20 and shaft 21 are therefore rotated in the large as thepinion, hence, the pinion is rotated once during a complete revolutionof The shaft 17 thus rotates counter clockwise. and makes the samenumber of revolutions inv a given period as the shafts 13 and 21,butrotates three times as fast. It remains stationary durin the othiertwo-thirds revolution of the sha s 13 an 21,

In order to prevent the shaft from rotatingafter the mutilatedgear hasceased to act on the pinion 23, Imake use of the arrangement shown inFigs. 5 and 10. At the in.- stant that the teeth of the mutilated gearcease to mesh with pinion 23, the catch 28 will engage the shoulder 29.This will prevent the inertia of the moving parts from rotating theshaft17 any farther. The impact of the dog against the catch is liable tocause theshaft 17 to rebound and in order to prevent this, the dog 52placed on the feeding-end of the shaft, as shown in Figs. 3 and 4, dropsinto notch 36 of the disk 37, at the same instantthat the catch 28 andshoulder 29 come into engagement and the shaft is thus prevented fromrotating in either direction. Spring 53 maintains the dog 52 inengagement with the periphery of the disk 35; The mutilated gear 22 andshaft 21 will then continue their rotation main stationary. The catch 29must, however, be lifted before the mutilated gear meshes again with thepinion. A trip 33 (Fig. 10) is therefore secured to the shaft 21 to liftthe dog 29, just before the mutilated gear meshes with the pinion and tohold it long enough to permit the shoulder 28 to pass under the end ofthe dog. When the trip 33 rotates farther, it will release the dog andpermit the spring 32 to return it to its original position.

During the rotation of the shaft 17 rotary motion is transmitted to theshaft 98 (Fig. 7) through the sprocket 95, chain 94, sprocket 93 andbevel gears 96 and 97. The shaft 98 is turned through two completerevolutions for each revolution of the shaft .17 for a purpose that willbe described later. This chain and gear mechanism and the con-' nectedparts insert the lining in the can as follows: The operator will place alining 108 in the slot 101 where it will be in position to be coiledaround the former 100 as soon as it commences to rotate. When it iscoiled therearound, the plunger 79 descends through the action of theeccentrics 81 and 82 and forces it into the can underneath. In order toguide the lining properly, the funnel 84: is provided as previouslydescribed. Atv a predetermined point in the upward travel of plunger 79,the nuts on the rods, 85 raise the funnel 8 1 from engagement with thecan 10,'and likewise at a predetermined point on the downward stroke ofthe plunger, the funnel is pushed downward into engagement therewithwhere it remains during further descent of the plunger. As the plungerdescends, the rods 85 slide through the holes in the funnel and thesprings 87 are compressed. In this way the funnel is retained above thecans during the period that they are moved along with con the diskinserting mechanism.

the end of the can beneath the lining mechanism just before the liningis pushed down into it. y I

The complete operation of the apparatus in inserting the disks and thelining is as follows: Referring to Fig. 1, the dry cell cans orcontainers 10 will be placed in the holders 9 at the right end of theapparatus by any means. For the purpose of explanation, it will beassumed that the cans are placed manually in the holders. The rotatingshaft 13 will transmit motion through the train of gears and cause theintermittent movement of shaft 17 as has been previously explained. Theshaft 17. through the arms and links at the left hand side of theapparatus of Fig. 1 (shown in detail in Fig. 1) will step the conveyer 8along one notch at a time for each revolution. The distance moved is thesame as the distance between the centers of the can holders 9. In thisway the conveyer is stepped along until the first can placed therein isadjacent The next revolution of the shaft 13 causes one com 1 pleterevolution of the shaft 17 through the mutilated gear arrangement andthis rotation moves the conveyer so as to place the can directly underthe member 65 (Fig. 6) where it remains stationary. During the time thatthe conveyer was moved through this distance, the eccentric 78 on theshaft 17 pushed the slide 71 to the right in Fig. 6 to receive a paper.disk '73 in the hole 71 and drew it back with this disk in alinementwith the can 10 beneath. As shown in Figs. 4 and 6, the shaft 17 hasturned through half a revolution, leaving one-half of a revolution yetto be completed before the mutilated gear ceases to mesh with the pinion23 thereon. The ratio of the pitch of the gears 22 and 23 is such thatthe plunger 64' is entirely above the slide 71 while the shaft 17 isrotating. When the shaft ceases to rotate, the descending plunger pushesthe paper disk from the slide 71 into the can 10 and then moves upwardto clear the slide before the mutilated gear 22 again meshes with gear23. The next engagement of these two gears causes the conveyer to hestepped forward again to place another can under the disk insertingmechanism where the same process is repeated. The first can is steppedalong until it reaches the mechanism for inserting the lining, andduring this period disks have been inserted in the succeeding cans asthey ass under the disk inserting mechanism. ust before the can is movedup to the position under this mechanism, a lining 108 is shoved into theslot 101 of the former 100 in position to be coiled thereon. This liningcan be placed in position by any means but it is assumed that it will bedone manually by any attendant. When the mutilated gear meshes around itinside of the drum 105.

with the pinion on the, shaft 17 motion is transmitted to the former 100through the chain and gears (Fig. 7) and it is turned around twice.During the revolution of the former, the lining is drawn in and wrappedThe lining is of such a length that it will have overlapping ends whencoiled on the former 100 but in order to have the slot 101 in correctposition to receive another lining, it is turned through two revolutionsthough, of course, it could equally as well be designed to turn throughany whole number of revolutions greater than one. During the time thatthe lining has been drawn in and wrapped around the former, the sleeveor plunger 79 has been entirely above it as is shown in Fig. 7. Thisplunger is forced downward by the eccentrics 81 and 82 (Fig. 1) andengages the coiled lining 108' after it ceases to rotate and pushes itdown through the funnel 84 into the can 10 on top of the paper disk.Further, rotation of the shaft 13 then causes the plunger 79 to rise andclear the cylinder 100, and when the mutilated gear 22 again comes inengagement with the pinion 23, the conveyer 8 is stepped forward and thenext can is placed under the lining mechanism. Just as soon as theplunger 79 clears the former 100 the operator will place another lining108v in the slot 101 in readiness to be coiled about it when the shaft17 is again rotated.

The can first described after having the lining placed therein isstepped forward repeatedly until it comes under the plunger 110, Fig. 1,in position to have a second disk inserted therein. The slide 116 (Figs.1 and 13) is reciprocated back and forth by an eccentric on the shaft 17exactly in the same manner as the slide 71 which placed the first diskin the can. When the shaft 17, therefore, is turned through onerevolution, the paper disk drops into the hole 116 in the slide 117 andis drawn to a position over the can where it will be forced therein bythe descending plunger 110. The can is then further stepped along untilit comes under the plunger 109 in position to receive a third disk. Thisdisk is placed in position to be forced into the can by the slide 116.The disk is brought into position over the can after having been fedintothe hole 116" from the magazine 120. .This isthe last operation thatwill be performed on the can traced along the container and it will bestepped along until it reaches the left hand end of the apparatus whereit will either be removed by an attendant or drop into a hopper as itturns around the wheel 5.

In the way described, each can that is put in the container on the righthand side will pass successively first under the first disk insertingmechanisms to receive a disk; second, under the lining mechanism toreceive a lining; third, under the second disk inserting, mechanism toreceive a second disk; and fourth, under the third disk insertingmechanism to receive the third disk.

It is the usual practice to place one lining and three disks in each drycell container but it will, of course, be obvious that my invention isnot limited to this number.

The apparatus can be arranged to insert any number of disks or anynumber of linings and the example illustrated in the drawing is onlyintended to be illustrative of the manner in which the variousoperations can be erformed.
